CHROMATIC-PRINTING PRESS,

I SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 447,507, dated March3, 1891. Application filed January 2,1891. Serial No. 376,471. (Nomodel.) Patented iii France January 2, 1889, No. 195,139.

Io ztZZ whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, AMFIDFIE FAYOL, residing at Bordeaux, Department ofGironde, France, have invented an Improvement in Chromatic-PrintingPresses, of which the following is a specification, and for which I haveobtained Letters Patent in France for fifteen years, No. 195,139, ofJanuary 2, 1889.

My invention relates to an improvement in printing-presses, the objectbeing to print advertisements or other parts of daily papers,periodicals, or the like in colors at the same time that the remainderof such paper is printed in black.

My invention consists in the mechanism hereinafter described, saidmechanism comprising original means for moving the parts of the typewhich should print in colors by utilizing the centrifugal forceresulting from the speed of the printing-cylinders.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention, wherein Figure 1 is alongitudinal section of a typecylinder of an ordinary press, showing mydevice within the cylinder in side View. Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsection of thecylinder and the therein-contained mechanism. Fig. 3 is across-section on line-1 2 of Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4 is a cross-section online 3 1 of Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 5 is an end view of the said cylinder,the left-hand end of Figs. 1 and 2 being illustrated. Fig. 6 is a topview of the cam mechanism shown in Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a longitudinalsection of a modification. Fig. 8 is a cross-section on line 5 6, Fig.7. Fig. 9 is an end view of the left-hand end of Fig.7. Fig. 10 is aside elevation of the collar 7.; shown in Fig. 7 and a cross-section ofits shaft 1).

The type-cylinder Ct turns with its arbor b, which, extending throughthe cylinder-heads a a, revolves in the journals 1), that are fixed onthe frame of a press. The type-cylinder has a hole in the side to allowthe passage in and out of the carrier d, which supports the type or cutcfor producing the colorimpressions, said carrier d being moved by themechanism within the cylinder. The type-carrier (1 slides in and out ina box f, which is fixed on the arbor Z2, its mouth entering an openingin the cylinder a, as in Fig. 2. The box f is connected at its inner endwith a clasp f, which partly embraces the shaft 2), as in Fig. 4, andwhich is secured to said shaft by screws f The typeo or printing-surfaceis united rigidly to its support d by means of screws 8' e, that arecarried by the movable piece (Z. This color-type carrier d is providedwith interior bosses d cZ which receive a rod g, to which I attach theextremity of a lever 72.. This lever h is keyed to an arbor k, which isplaced parallel to the arbor b, and is held in two supports or collars7t 70, which are fastened to the arbor b. The arbor k is fastened to thecylinder a, and extends beyond one end of the cylinder. To this end ofthe arbor it a stationary arm L is fastened, which, by means of a screw2'', pushes a lever Z, carrying at one end a friction-roller 1, againsta stationary cam x, which is connected with the stationary journal I) ofthe arbor h. A spring r, Fig. 3, fastened to the inner end of the arborlo, insures the constancy of contact of the roller 1' and of the cam so,the tension of which it is easy to regulate by the screw t, therebyregulating the strength of the coloriinprcssion by increasing orlessening the throw which it imparts to the type c. The periphery of thecam 00 is so formed that, through the medium of the lever Z, whichfollows the outline of the cam, the type-carrier d and type c in onemovement is lowered below the plane of the fixed type A when thecylinder receives the black ink and then raised above the plane of thetype A when the said movable type is to receive the colored ink andfinally brought into the plane of the type A when it is to give theimpression.

During the normal working of the press the cylinder at possesses a greatvelocity, which results in a centrifugal action, which carries thetype-carrier (l and its type outward. The cam therefore only regulatesthese move ments of the type-carrier d and the-thereoncontained type.

In starting the machinery the spring 0*, bearing against the arbor ofthe lever Z and the cam 00, compels the type-carrier d and its sup portto execute the proper intermittent move ments. To facilitate themounting and dismounting of the type-carrier d, the pivot g is put intothe support (Z by means of a long flexible rod j, ending in a plug j,which is screwed into an outer cylinder-head 0. Said cylinder-head a isalso a support for the arbor 7:. To afford an entrance of the pivot gand to serve as a guide for the same to its seat,I introduce the tube 7'which is held in place by the head a and the outer box f of thetype-carrier (1. By removing the rod g the type-carrier (Z can be liftedout of the cylinder.

In the modification shown in Figs. 7, 8, J, and 10 the casef, whichcontains and guides the type-carrier d, is large enough to permit ofplacing between it and the arbor b, butindependently of this latter, asort of compound connecting-rod a, designed to connect the pivot g withthe head of the lever 71. This connecting-rod comprises, as is seen,anarticulated T-piece to the pivot g and a catch or fork n embracing theextremities of the horizontal bar of the T and surrounding the arbor I).The lower part of this fork n is coupled together with the lever 7L,which is keyed on the arbor 7a and which oscillates in thecollar-supports is k. On the outer side of the outer cylinder-head a issecured to the end of the arbor Ir the piece i, which, as beforedescribed, regulates the position of the type-carrier. The boxf may befixed within the cylinder a by the two outer screws a a the heads ofwhich are sunk into the cylindera, and the two inner screws a a screwedthrough the bottom of the box and but-ting against the interior wall ofthe cylinder, thereby setting the box firmly in place. In thismanner thearbor 7,: may govern one, two, or more type-carriers. Likewise one, two,or more arbors 70 may be put within the cylinder, so that it will bepossible to place the type-carrier at any point. on the circumference ofthe cylinder. The plates thus moved by the working of the press may beinked in any convenient manner. Nevertheless, I prefer for inking themovable inker, which I made the object of another application on the29th day of December, 1890, Serial No. 376,027.

Having now described my invention, what I claim is 1. The combination,in a color-printing press, of the type-cylinder a with the typecarriercl placed therein and with mechanism within the type-cylinder,substantially as described, for drawing said type-carrier inward, andwith mechanism, substantially as described, for enabling centrifugalforce to move said type-carrier outward, as specified.

2. The combination of the hollow type-cylinder with the reciprocatingtype-carrier (I placed therein and with the lever 71, arbor l6, lever 1,spring 0', and stationary cam 00, all arranged for operationsubstantially as herein shown and described.

3. The combination of the type-cylinder (t with the inner box f,reciprocating type-carrier (1, rod g, lever h, spring 0', arbor 7;, arm11, lever Z, and stationary cam 00, all arranged substantially as hereinshown and described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twowitpesses.
